The reality is decades and decades of Grand Bargains by the DC crowd
on both sides, past and present have brought us to the brink. No special
interest group is willing to give back what they have gained with these
Grand Bargains. So, the DC hacks on both sides are incapable of making
the hard choices. Power over country.

So what other outcome is left if these hacks are unwilling or incapable
of addressing these issues?

A collapse is the only outcome left. I know it, they know it and the only
thing they will do about it is to raise taxes, not cut spending. The only
thing this will do it delay the outcome, not change the outcome.

Federal taxes are a shell game, we pay taxes to Washington and then they bribe us with our own money. We pay probably thousands of different kinds of federal taxes that we cannot keep track of how much money we individually pay to Washington. Washington is a big vacuum cleaner just sucking the money out of our pockets. I don’t think the problem will ever be solved in Washington because Washington itself is the problem. The solution is going to have to come from the states. Can the states nullify some of the federal taxes?
